King Zheng stopped talking and said after a long while, "If Fifth Brother were to do this, he would be a traitor and a traitor. He would never do this."
Emperor Longqing immediately said, "I want to see if he will do so, so the court wants to send a military commander to the front. I wonder if you can go?"
King Zheng was startled: "I'll go?"
Emperor Longqing hummed and looked at him: "Although you are not close to the fifth brother, you have never offended him. If you go over, you will be able to talk to him more easily."
This matter could not be decided in a short time, so Emperor Longqing just said a few words and sent him away to rest.
Prince Zheng returned to the palace, changed his clothes and washed himself briefly, then went to the Dingbei Marquis's mansion.
There have been a lot of things happening in the capital recently, and the doormen of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion have been much more cautious than usual. When they see someone from a distance, they will go back to report first. Soon, the third master and the second master came out in person to greet them.
King Zheng exchanged greetings with them before going to pay his respects to Old Lady Wei and then to Wei An.
The moment he saw Wei An, he finally felt relieved. He sighed and asked about the affairs of Baoding Prefecture.
Wei An briefly explained the situation and said, "Just as I told you in the letter, Chu Jingxing came with me this time because of my uncle."
"He is so crazy." King Zheng sat aside and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and couldn't help but say: "Is he crazy?! At this time, he is still plotting against his own people. His own internal strife has caused so much trouble!"
The third master and the second master looked at each other and nodded.
They are members of the Wei family. Since Old Madam Wei has decided to join Prince Linjiang, they naturally have no choice, but they always hope to have more security.
The behavior of Prince Linjiang really made them feel uneasy.
Prince Zheng sneered, obviously very dissatisfied with Chu Jingxing: "He can even think of such a crazy method. First, he framed the Prince of Zhennan, and then sent clues to lead Shen Chen to go with you. I'm afraid he hoped to catch both of you in one fell swoop, give the Xiao family a favor, and then remove the obstacles. Later, when he saw that Dong Siyuan couldn't touch you, he simply thought of luring the Third Young Master Lin over, and then framed you with a crime of collusion. It's also fortunate that your reaction mechanism Shen Chen and the Third Young Master Lin each have the ability to please, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. He disregards the overall gains and losses for his personal emotions. Such a person is always a big worry."
King Zheng was a gentle man and rarely lost his temper in such a harsh manner. Especially when he kept saying that keeping him would cause trouble in the future, it was obvious that he had the intention to kill.
Old Madam Wei waited for him to calm down before saying, "That's right. Although you got away with it this time, you don't always have good luck. Besides, there's no such thing as a thief on guard against thieves. Keeping a person like this is indeed a disaster."
She glanced at Prince Zheng thoughtfully: "I remember that when Prince Linjiang was leaving, he said that he had accepted his seal of the crown prince."
Hearing the hidden meaning of Mrs. Wei's words, the Third Master said, "In fact, even if there was no such thought or warning at the beginning, if Chu Jingxing's actions were known to the prince, he would have to pay the price."
That’s right. He thought the Xiao family was the best ally, but he ended up betraying the Xiao family.
He thought he could turn the tide with the help of Prime Minister Xia, but Shen Chen's words led Emperor Longqing to suspect the way Dong Siyuan sent the secret memorial. He followed the clues to the Vice Minister of War, and then found Xia Song.
Now Xia Song was also badly cheated by him.
If King Linjiang could forgive him for such a mistake, he would be too kind-hearted.
King Zheng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Then make him pay the price!"
If such a mad dog is not suppressed, it will bite people to death sooner or later. Before that, its teeth must be chopped off to prevent it from biting more people.
"What did Shen Chen say?" King Zheng glanced at Wei An and asked softly, "Now the Xiao family has suffered heavy losses, including Xia Song's fall. There is no one left for him to command and support. Has Shen Chen planned how to deal with him?"
That kid Shen Chen once said that he would never let Wei An suffer any injustice.
But if he cannot avenge Wei An this time, then Wei An will be truly wronged. King Zheng narrowed his eyes for a while, wondering if he should ask Young Master Lin to help if Shen Chen was still indecisive and took into account the friendship.
Wei An lowered his head and glanced at the hem of his skirt, and replied softly: "Shen Chen said he already had a plan, so I didn't bother to intervene and do anything. My uncle and Uncle Chen both meant the same thing yesterday."
Uncle Chen refers to Censor Chen.
He is a man who can really keep his composure and can really come up with ideas.
King Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Shen Chen and ask him what he thinks."
He paused and then continued, "The emperor intends to let me go to Jiangxi as the military governor. No matter what, before that, I have to solve this matter first before I dare to leave."
Otherwise, how could he feel at ease letting Wei An and Old Madam Wei stay in the capital.
-But it was Old Lady Wei who told him not to rush to find Shen Chen: "You just came back. It would be too conspicuous to come to my place first and then go to Shen Chen's place. It's not that serious now."
She smiled and said, "Chu Jingxing is still busy dealing with Xia Song and the others, so he's not busy."
"Besides, we have to see how far this young man Shen Chen can go."
They decided to join King Linjiang because of Shen Chen. If Shen Chen is unreliable, then they should naturally make other plans. The lives of an entire family are not something that can be saved just by talking about it.
King Zheng looked at her, was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and answered yes. After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything else. He just waved Wei An over, glanced at her and said, "In this case, it's rare to have some free time, An An, come with me for a walk."
He walked in front, and Wei An followed him out the door. When they reached the ginkgo tree in the garden, King Zheng stopped and turned around to look at her: "An An, what are you planning?"
Wei An asked him, "Do you mean, do I still have plans to go to Fujian?"
"That's not it." Prince Zheng shook his head with his hands behind his back. "I know that the child is in Fujian, and the old lady must go there, and you must go there too. I'm not asking this, I'm asking, what are your plans for Shen Chen? You use this excuse, and His Majesty will consciously put you all together, pay attention to you, and after calculating the gains and losses, he will inevitably make a decision. And An An, do you have any plans for this matter?"
